THIS is likely to be the last Update of MAC because nothing else is
required. The work is done.
A momentous turning point has been reached in the
expansion of the Master’s work in the world, like nothing that has
ever taken place before in the history of the star-studded
Supramental Manifestation.
On 19 November 1969, the Mother indicated that a
significant moment had arrived, and she remarked, ‘…the 9 has
something to do with this [the arrival of the Superman
Consciousness]. There are so many things we do not know…’.
These
Chronicles and Updates have served to bring the Knowledge of the 9,
as pregnant as the Mother hinted 36 years ago, to those involved
with or interested in the Mother’s work. We have centred the
endeavour on the Mother’s Chamber, ostensibly to bring to light the
fact that what stands in Auroville today, and is being presented to
an unsuspecting public as a faithful reproduction of the Mother’s
original vision and plan, is nothing of the sort: in every detail
there has been a disfigurement. What stands in Auroville is a
representation in architecture of the Ego and not the Soul, the
essence of the Mother’s original plan.
But there was far more involved. The hidden purpose of
the formation of MAC has been to ‘begin again’, as the Mother
predicted would happen if her plan was not accepted.
With the establishment of MAC a new base was brought
into being and the ‘old heaven and the old earth’ have passed away.
Thus in August 2005, the true FOUNDATION STONE of the
City-Consciousness was laid exactly according to the lines drawn by
the Supramental Shakti and in a manner wholly reflective of the
overt manner in which Supermind operates in the world. The
inauguration of Auroville in 1968 simply set on its way an organised
‘field’, special indeed, in fact unique in the history of sacred
endeavours, where the powers impeding the descent of a new
Heaven and a new Earth could be engaged. There has been no
other purpose in the commencement of that sacred endeavour than
this. And now 37
years down the line that offering of itself as a field for a very
special Supramental process has been received and accepted by the
Supreme, and is therefore no longer required. The work is done.
A legitimate question to ask is, was this known to the
Mother when it all began? Of course it was known. In 1970, two years
after the City’s official inauguration, the Mother knew exactly the
nature of the power she was dealing with and what had to be done.
She declared this in no uncertain terms, as recorded in the
Matrimandir Talks (December 31, 1969 – 17 January 1970).
But we do not need the words of the Mother to prove the
point. We need only look at WHAT IS. In the first place,
there was the reverse direction of the endeavour, the result
of which would be to ENTRAP that power, known in occult circles as
the Lord of Nations, in the Shadow Temple. This reverse direction
was set in motion in 1968. The usual development, in an enterprise
of such critical importance in Sri Aurobindo’s work for the world,
would be to start with the Centre, the Temple, and proceed outward.
Instead, we note that the City was first established. That was the
signal that something was ‘planned’ for that beginning in time other
than what was apparent. But at each step of the way the Mother gave
the people a choice: the Divine ‘plan’ or the human. And each time
the people opted for the human.
Thus it is
evident that the Mother had regular confirmation of the true purpose
of the City, set in motion officially in 1968. On that occasion the
revealing factor was the rejection of her design and measurement
of the all-important Urn, the main item of the inauguration
ceremony. Not only was its lotus form rejected but the most
important element was completely ignored: the measurement of its
height which is the Measurement of the Third of the Solar Line,
1.65m – embodiment of the essence of the third planet of our solar
system, of the Earth herself. And that is where the soil of all the
nations of the world would be contained ever after. But instead it
was fashioned ‘in man’s image’ not the Divine’s. Thus the destiny
was fixed and set on its way on that special day in 1968.
What were the consequences of that rejection of the
Divine way in favour of the human? The reversedirection
was cemented, drawing the forces involved ever deeper into a vortex,
a trap as it were, so that in a very brief span of 27 years, which
in the long evolution of these sacred matters is but the blinking of
an eye, the work would be done. This was to be the new Kurukshetra.
The Divine Strategy set in motion then was to draw the
forces that have kept the Earth under the rule of the Ignorance and
to localise them in one spot, to thus consolidate the action, to
allow it to be focussed in one prize place on the globe. In
this strategic manner the Ignorance could be vanquished; and only in
this manner.
Moving inward, the next offering of the Mother to the
people was the sacred plan of her Chamber in January of 1970. But
again that was rejected in favour of the human, thus putting the
final seal on the nature of the operation being undertaken at that
new Kurukshetra. More importantly, this brought the development to
its true reason for being – as indeed we would expect when the
soul point was reached, the centre of the City. It was to
provide a ‘field’ for the Third in the Solar Line to bring into
being a centre. In all such operations, if at all this has
occurred after the Vedic Age, the physical construction can
only occur AFTER the centre has come into being by a yogic
process of a very special order. We find this described with
impeccable beauty in the Rig Veda, and in very great detail. With
the birth of Agni the sacred Fire, and the realisation of Skambha,
the most mysterious element of the Sacrifice in days of yore, that
Cosmic Pillar could then be the upholder of the worlds, from subtle
to physical. It would be
the hub around which Time could organise the evolution
of what it contained in its centremost core, that miraculous ‘seed’,
outcome of a process of involution. This would be the essence
of the Inner Chamber and its perfect axial balance would establish
on Earth the Centre which is the birth that fills the Void.
This is what Sri Aurobindo stated the mission of Kalki would be: to
‘correct the error of the Buddha’. And indeed, when that
Centre did come into being through a Supramental Yoga, the Golden
Child was born.

Thus, in 1971 the process was set on its way to bring the Child
forth. It was a tremendous turning point. 1971, a year of 9
number-power, initiated the 27-year ‘plan’ that would vanquish
Inertia, which is the real definition of the Ignorance. For if
everything is contained in the Golden Seed and Time is the
instrument of the Supreme Consciousness to draw out, to extend its
involved, compacted sacred Contents into our world of time and
space, then we can easily understand that the aim of forces hostile
to this happening would be to somehow impede that movement, that
evolution of what has been involved. The only tactic – or rather we
should say, their only strategy - has to be obstruction,
delay, holding back, restraining; or to use the more accurate Vedic
phrase, penning in.

And thus we come to the grandest myth of all time, the Rig Veda. In
no other can we find such an accurate description of the real
world, the real labour, the real process and goal.
But, is it proper to continue calling this a ‘myth’? The Rig Veda is
the description of exactly what is detailed above. The ‘rays/cows’
that are hoarded in the cave by the hostiles is simply
the revelation of the exact nature of our work. But while in the
Vedic Age the process was certainly individual, or at least confined
to a small elite of individuals, that very same process has been
accomplished now for the entire Earth in this Aquarian Age of
universalisation. The miracle of this Age that we are blessed to
live in is that the Rig Vedic process serves the entire Earth. In
this lies the eternal nature of the Sanatana Dharma.

For this purpose the Mother set on its
way the ‘fields’ where the Force of Inertia could finally be
vanquished. The Lord of Nations, otherwise called the Lord of
Falsehood, was imprisoned in that specific crossroads of latitude
and longitude to provide the sacred ‘field’ for the Third to bring
into being the Centre, the true Centre that can ‘fill the Void’. By
this it is meant the Void of the Ages, the depleted ‘centre’, the
result of a reversed direction of ALL yoga in India since the time
of the Buddha. There is no better confirmation than to note that
Gautam the Buddha is thought to be the 9th of Vishnu’s
Line of Ten Avatars – as incongruous as this is considering that his
message, mission and realisation were so totally un-Vedic! In this
manner the Buddha was made by the pundits, through no fault of his
own, to usurp the position of the true 9th Avatar of the
Line of Ten, Sri Aurobindo. This lone fact was the signal that the
Vedic Age had passed, the Age when Knowledge reigned supreme.
Darkness had truly descended to take possession of the land of the
Rishis.
The great moment of transition in the evolving of the
zodiacal ages is passage from the 8th to the 9th.
Is it any wonder that the pundits of the day believed that the
so-called Kali Yuga began with the demise of Sri Krishna in the 8th
Age? That ‘void’ in the flow is indeed filled when a shift in
direction occurs – this being the true definition of a ‘dark age’, a
kaliyuga, and no other. Contrary to the Vedic way, the soul
is denied, the Earth is seen as hell and must be abandoned to her
own fate; nor can she ever hope to house a race of Immortals and to
be the place for a life divine to manifest. The highest energies of
the civilisation are thus drawn away from the centre of our ‘field’
on this third planet from the Sun, leaving a void which the agents
of Inertia can fill.

The task was
then to take possession of that centre once again. To pierce the
‘cave’ and liberate the hoarded rays/cows so that the rise from
below, the evolution that Agni leads, can reach the summit where the
full victory is achieved, where the Serpent Vritra, coverer of the
Sun, is finally vanquished.
This is why a
‘field’ is demanded, a new Kurukshetra in this 9th
Manifestation, just as the former Kurukshetra served the 8th
Avatar of Vishnu so well in the Manifestation before ours, the 8th.
And it is exactly what has happened in the ‘fields’ the Mother set
on their way in 1968 and 1971. The Yoga required was identical to
the process described so minutely in the Rig Veda, the only
difference being – and it is a huge difference indeed – that the
scope is now universal.
For this to
have occurred Supermind was demanded; without its descent that
universal victory could not have taken place. There would have been
no possibility of a harmony and integration of the One and the Many.
The Power of Inertia could not have been vanquished for the whole
Earth.Now that the
work is done we can reveal the fullest details of this momentous
turning point for the Earth. This Yoga, covering 27 years, had to
set in motion a reverse direction than what the city and
temple inaugurations brought into being in time, - for it is Time
itself that has been the aid in the Yoga. They went from outer to
inner. This counteracting Supramental Yoga moves from inner to
outer, from the point of Unity (the Chamber-Centre) to the
Multiplicity (the City).
It took 27
years to gestate and bring into being the Mother’s Chamber
(1971-1998), all the while depleting the Lord of Nations of any
power to ‘sting’ by compressing him more and more tightly into a
point. Thereafter the laying of the Foundation Symbol-Stone of
the City-Consciousness took only 7 years, once the former labour was
completed and the ‘field’ of the Centre had been liberated: the true
Centre was in place. Though labour it was, now, happily, we can
state, the work is done.
Within the cycle of 9, or the ennead beginning in 1998, this 7-power
year, 2005, is of deepest importance; for it is now that the
centremost Axis is set in place (yogicly) by virtue of a reversal
that occurred in 2002 and continued to the present, culminating with
the laying of the Foundation Symbol-Stone of the City-Consciousness,
cleansed of all the ‘mixture’ of old that the Mother warned us of in
the Matrimandir Talks.
In the midst of these two and a half years, from 2002 to
the present, the Yoga of the Chronicles was undertaken.
That brought the final demise of the Ignorance, trapped as it was in
the Shadow-Chamber expressly created for this most sacred purpose,
and of the greatest service imaginable to the Earth.
By the spring of 2004 the ‘stinger’ was cut, the
power-source of Inertia was eliminated; it was rendered out of
bounds to the Usurpers. Thus the ‘purpose’ of the former city and
temple has been completed victoriously, dark though it was. But can
we really call it a dark purpose? Surely we cannot, in the
light of a total vision of the work we are engaged in. Those
‘fields’ were required until August 2005. But the Symbol
‘construction’ that was finalised then brought their reason for
being to an end.
The Mother’s inspired symbol, true foundation of the
City, even as her symbol is the true plan of the Chamber in her
Temple, has been constructed and set in place in the soil of
Earth-Consciousness, announcing
the glorious news, through this White Stone, of the extension of the
Work now to the four corners of the Earth.

1. And I saw a
new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea.

2. And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as
a bride adorned for her husband.

3. And I
heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God is with

men, and he
will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself
shall be with them,
and be their God.

4. And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed
away.

5. And he
that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
said unto me, for
these words are true and faithful.

6. And he
said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end. I will give
unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely……

9. And there
came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full
of the seven
last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew
thee the bride, the Lamb’s
wife.

10. And he
carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and
shewed me the great
city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God…

…

12. And had
a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the twelve gates
angels, and names
written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the
children of Israel:

13. On the
east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates.

14. And the
wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of
the twelve apostles of
the Lamb.

15. And he
that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the
gates thereof, and the wall
thereof.

16. And the
city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth:
and he measured the city
with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and breadth and
height of it are equal.

17. And he
measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits,
according to the measure
of a man, that is, of the angel…

…

22. And I
saw no temple therein: for the Lord Almighty and the Lamb are the
temple of it.

23. And the
city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:
for the glory of
God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24. And the
nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and
the kings of the earth
do bring their glory and honour into it.

25. And the
gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no
night there.

26. And they
shall bring the glory and honour of the nations to it.

27. And
there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the
Lamb’s book of life.
